Just a reminder that the President of Puerto Rico is a man named Donald Trump.

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the WORLD. More people speak Spanish, than English.

I couldn’t sit down for an hour. Then Benito ‘Bad Bunny’ took center stage and brought Latin America to the world! I danced until the music stopped.

Thank you, Benito for representing 🇵🇷
Together, we are America! 🇺🇸

Not Fake. Not Removed. What’s your next move? By the way, we remember you did not vote to confirm and walked out of the Chamber during the celebration when now Justice Katanji Brown-Jackson was confirmed by the Senator.

What’s your next move, sir?

That video (not sharing it) had better be an impeachable offense.

I don’t love the idea of a VanceMuskTheilEllisonZuckerbergBezo presidency, but there should be NO coming back from that.

Is now the time to say, we told you so?

“KPCW reported last week that raw milk sold by internet mega-star Hannah Neeleman — aka Ballerina Farm — exceeded the allowed levels of coliform bacteria, which includes E. coli, in their May and June 2025 tests.”

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

The last time I’ve been this excited about watching a football game in the middle of a concert it down-poured purple rain. #halftime #badbunny

Idk…I suppose some Germans would have flocked to the theaters to see a movie about Eva Braun.

Of course he wants to start a race war to distract from the latest release of Trump/Epstein files.

Because if he goes one inch towards President Obama, that’s what will ensue. A Civil War.

Luckily, we’re smart enough to see right through his shenanigans.

🚨URGENT 🚨

Please contact your State Representative, NOW

The current legislative session is calling for a 10% cut to DSPD funding. This will have a dramatic impact on staffing and the quality of services providers are able to provide to clients with disabilities.

Say NO to cuts to DSPD!

Yes, he is trying to steal the 2026 midterm elections.
Yes, he is planning to run for a third term in 2028.
Yes, you are going to have to do something about it besides post on social media.
Yes, authoritarianism is here.

We wants to see the fascism, racism and xenophobia stopped that’s committed by her husband, the president.

Melania Trump gets the last laugh and walks away with $28 million, regardless of ticket sales.

This wasn’t about making a movie. It was about getting money into the pockets of the Trumps.

It’s called money laundering.

Where’s Congress?!

Was it all just a ploy for Jeff Bezos to suck up to Donald Trump?

Not gonna lie. When I saw this earlier today, I thought…”weird.” Trump hates California.

Then I saw a clip of Jacob Soboroff discussing getting a call from Katie Miller.

The house belonging to the parents of Stephen Miller burned down during the Los Angeles wildfires.

Ok. Now it makes sense.

I’m going to say she got lucky. It could have easily been acid. Not uncommon in some parts of the world, and apparently those ‘some parts’ is right here.

Alhamdulillah

That’s because there’s no more RNC. It’s TNC and they know it.
TRUMP-A-POLOOZA

Perfect. Trump, with approvals in the toilet, is going to put another nail in the coffin of Republicans in the midterms.

How about those Epstein files?
“.. an economic message that’s been upstaged by outcries over his deportation policies and the killing of two protesters ..”

Do you think Mitch McConnell watches the news and thinks “Yep, this is the America I envisioned when we refused to convict a criminal president after inciting an Insurrection to overthrow the government “?

Jim Crow were legal, yet unjust laws.

The militarization of ICE and Border Patrol that enabled them to occupy American cities and engage in racial profiling has resulted in the abduction and execution of citizens and non-citizens. These are unjust laws. #ice #minnesota
